Teacher Workshop version of the copyright lesson
Consequences of Plagiarism from MHS student handbook:
CHEATING and PLAGIARISM
When a teacher determines that a student has cheated during a quiz, test or any other such activity the student will receive a "zero" for that activity and the parents will be notified. When a teacher has determined that a student has plagiarized a term paper, book report, project or other assignment the student will receive a "zero" for that activity, the parent will be notified, and additional disciplinary actions may be taken. Members of the National Honor Society may be subject to dismissal pending a due process hearing.
